The Area: Phuket, Thailand

A melting pot of religions, experiences, and of course, international tourists, Phuket combines everything that can be expected of a tropical island destination and puts it all into overdrive. Idyllic beaches and lush forests are juxtaposed against the hectic energy of Patong, often referred to as the party capital of not just Thailand but the whole of Asia. Patong is the island’s beating heart, a city of frenetic energy and bright lights surrounded by the gracious curve of glittering Patong Beach. Patong Beach is one of Thailand’s most famous where everything from sun lounges to jet skis is available to hire, and locals offer on-the-spot hair braiding and massages.

Just a short hop to the south of this lies the areas of Karon and Kata, famous for their pristine beaches and proximity to all the action of Patong without being in the thick of it. For something quieter and more picturesque, take a long-tail boat around the southern headland to Freedom Beach, which is only accessible by water. By night, busy Bangla Road comes to life with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs at every turn. The streets are closed to cars from 6 pm and throng with people every night of the week. For something different, check out a Las Vegas-style magic show at the Joe Conrad Magic Theatre. During the daytime, explore the spectacular surrounding area with a tour to Phi Phi Island, a scuba-diving day trip, or an elephant trek through the jungle.

The Area: Phi Phi Island, Thailand

Rising from the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea are the breathtaking cliffs of Phi Phi Island, made famous in movies such as ‘The Beach’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The sheer, soaring rock faces give way to lush emerald jungle and beautiful beaches scattered with caves. Gentle waves lap at the shore and a wealth of sea life beckons in the picture-perfect bays.

The Area: Krabi

Surrounded by limestone karsts and mangrove forests, Krabi is a resort town near the Andaman coast, boasting kilometers of sandy beaches. Travelers can visit Buddhist Tiger Cave Temple, take a ferry to the nearby Phi Phi Islands, or enjoy the view of Khao Kanab Nam, the two hills rising out of water.
